First of all, our AI routine would need a complete overwrite to allow for complete realistic Mistel operations. Unfortunately we could not afford to spend another year building and testing the Mistel, so our AI Mistels cannot take-off, land or attack targets. The most an AI Mistel can do is follow a set of waypoints in the air, basically serving as a large target for other flights.

Another important limitation is that Mistels cannot be flown in online dogfight games; however they can be flown in co-op missions.

Player-controlled Mistels however do work like other FB planes. You can start on the ground and take-off in them, land with or without the attached Ju-88 bomb, and detach the Ju-88 bomb in the air and launch it at targets. You must launch the Mistel at least from 1 km away from the target; historically they were launched from even farther away. Just lower your engine power to about 33% of throttle, hold your target in the crosshairs for a few seconds and press the Attach/Detach Aircraft button to separate from the Ju-88. It will follow on your current course, while you should try to get away from the target area. The Mistel's blast is pretty big, and it will damage or destroy objects on the ground and in the air in a very large radius.

Creating a mission with a Mistel is easy: just create two waypoints for the Ju-88 (Mistel), then place waypoints for the FW-190A-8 (Mistel). With the FW-190 selected, go to the Waypoint tab of the Object window, click the Set button and click on the Mistel. This will link the two in the beginning of the mission.
NOTE: You can set the first waypoint of the pair to be Take-Off, but AI flown Mistels will not be able to take-off.

Additional notes:

- When releasing the Mistel from low altitudes and at a shallow angle, it may hit the ground without exploding. Its detonator was located in the tip of its long nose, so if the Mistel hits the ground with its fuselage without an impact on the nose it will not detonate.
- combat/take off/landing flaps will only work on the Fw-190 and not extend on the Ju-88.
- when the Mistel hits the ground you may sometimes hear the "I’m hit, I am going down" radio call.


Notes on Ta-152H-1

This plane has two systems of engine boost: GM-1 for high altitudes and MW-50 for low altitudes.

GM-1 should be used at altitudes above 9,000 m
1. If you reach that altitude with the MW-50 Off, you can turn on the GM-1 by hitting W button (default).
2. If you reach that altitude with the MW-50 enabled, then you need to switch it off by hitting W and then press W again to engage the GM-1.
Bellow 9,000 m the W key operated only the MW-50 as normal.
3. If the GM-1 was engaged at a high altitude and was not disengaged below 9,000 meters, then the engine will not be damaged as on DB-605s; however no extra power will be gained from the device. This is historically correct.


Notes on He-162 and Go-229

Both the He-162 and Go-229 are equipped with ejection seats. However these are not modern 0-0 ejection seats, and you have a very low chance of survival punching out below 500 meters of altitude or stationary on the ground. Also, try not to eject when flying inverted at tree-top level.

Go-229 is modeled without the historically optional drag chute; you must brake with only wheel brakes as on other planes.
We have also modeled small air brakes on this aircraft used for low speed stability and for spin recovery.

Changes in Quick Mission Builder

Changed the Advantage-Disadvantage procedure in code. Now your advantage or disadvantage means 700 m separation in altitude to the enemy aircraft.
We also added a new map into the QMB - online "Pacific" map.
Note: On the new “Pacific” map in QMB, if you set altitude of flight bellow 1000 m for AI aircraft, some of them may crash in mountains on the way to home base.
